Bilge Water Disposal

The effluent overboard will be monitored by an Oil Content Monitor (OCM).

Water less than 15 Parts per Million (ppm) of oil will be allowed to go
overboard.

If the effluent oil content is greater that 15 ppm, the bilge pump will stop,
securing the operation, or, if fitted with a 3-way valve, the effluent will be
diverted back to the Bilge Water Tank.

Oil that has been separated out, will be diverted to the Separated Bilge Oil
Tank.

A ballast tank is a compartment

within a boat or ship that holds water.

A vessel may have a single ballast

tank near its center or multiple
ballast tanks typically on either
side.

Adding ballast to a vessel lowers its

center of gravity, and increases
the draft of the vessel. Increase
draft may be required for proper
propeller immersion.

Ballast water is absolutely essential

to the safe and efficient operation of
modern merchant ships, providing
balance and stability to unloaded
ships

ballast water may also pose a serious

ecological, economic and health
threat due to invasive aquatic
species

A large vessel typically will have

several ballast tanks including double
bottom tanks, wing tanks as well as
forepeak and aftpeak tanks.

Fixed Gas Fire Extinguishing Systems

Typically suppress fires by reducing the available oxygen

The most common fixed gas extinguishing systems encountered are
either high/low pressure CO2 systems or those utilizing Halon
alternatives.
Reducing the oxygen content from the normal 21% in air to 15%
40% of the total volume of the largest machinery spaces that is
protected by the CO2system
If the CO2 system is installed in the cargo spaces, the quantity of CO2
available should be sufficient enough to give at least a minimum of 30%
of the total volume of the largest space that is protected by the CO2
system
requires that the fixed piping systems for machinery spaces is to be such
that 85% of the gas can be discharged into the space within 2 minutes.
CO2 Distribution Piping The design pressure at the nozzle is not to
be less than 10 bar

Chemical
increase the removal of these new forms by physical processes
The sewage treatment is usually a
combination of the three principal methods,
such as:
mechanical-chemical,
mechanical-biological and
chemical-biological

69

The treatment of sewage includes the following stages:

1)

Waste water accumulation and

management
In this stage of process waste
water (black water, grey water and
galley water has been collected in
holding tanks before processing.
Waste water pre-treatment

2)

reduces the amount of solids in the

waste water

reduces the need for oxidation

The pre-treatment is mechanical

and consists of sieving and
sedimentation units

70

3)

Waste water oxidation

4)

The mechanical filtering results in a

maximum of 50% reduction in
organic load. The remaining organic
compounds have to be oxidized,
either chemically or biologically.

Waste water clarification and

filtration
The clarification and filtration
processes used in the ships are
membrane filtration, dissolved air
flotation and settling

71

5)

Waste water disinfection

The last phase in the wastewater
purification process is disinfection
the disinfection is performed with
UV-light.

6)

Sludge treatment
The sludge production depends on
the treatment process.
The sludge that comes straight
from the process is centrifuged.
After the decanter centrifuge, the
possible sludge handling techniques
are holding, incinerator, steam
dryer, filter press or an alternative
sludge conditioning process so that
combustion is possible.

Liquid Cargo Handling System

The design of tanker cargo piping

systems is predicated on
minimizing turn around time at the
unloading terminal,
handling the required number of
cargo grades,
providing for safe handling of the
combustible cargo, and preventing
oil pollution.

The total cargo pump capacity must

be sufficient to discharge cargo in the
required unloading time

The unloading time economics,

capacity of the terminal, and the
power available to operate the pumps.

The unloading time is typically 12 to

14 hours

The cargo pumps discharges port

and starboard hose manifold on the
main deck

The size of the discharge piping is

based on the total pump head and the
required minimum pressure at the
deck manifold

The stripping pump should be

arranged to discharge this
residual oil through a smaller
separate line

As an alternative to the systems

configuration described,
particularly on product tankers,
which often carry many grades of
cargo, deep well or submersible
pump may be used

one deep well or submersible

pump may be installed in each
cargo tank.

Cargo pump may be driven by; steam turbines, diesel engines, or electric motors.

The drivers may not be located in the pump room of a crude oil carrier because of
the potential for an explosion of the cargo vaporous

73

Dedi Budi P ST MT

for vapor recovery should have the following additional safety feature :
A remote cargo tank level indicating systems operable without openings the tank
(required 98% level )
A cargo tank high levels alarm systems (required 98% level )
A Cargo tank overfill indicating systems, which is independent of the high level
alarm and is timed to allow the operator to prevent an overflow
Tank pressure vacuum relief valves, which will open in the event of failure the
vapor recovery system and are of sufficient size to discharge a volume of vapor
corresponding to 1.25 times the maximum cargo loading rate without causing
pressure in the cargo tanks to exceed the design value.

Disadvantage
Expensive extra length of the piping
required
Extra bend is required
Risk of leakage from radius bend
exists

Advantage
Quick loading unloading
Short pipe line, less bend, leak is
minimized
Better suction, less loss of pressure

77

Disadvantage

Inert Gas System

The inert gas system is used to

prevent the atmosphere in cargo tanks
or bunkers from coming into the
explosive range
Inert gas is produced on board crude
oil carriers (above 20,000 tones) by
using either a flue gas system or by
burning kerosene in a dedicated inert
gas generator
Purified nitrogen and argon gases are
most commonly used as inert gases
due to their high natural abundance
(78% N2, 1% Ar in air) and low
relative cost

79

Inerting empty cargo tank by reducing

the oxygen content of the atmosphere

part of any cargo tank with an oxygen
content not exceeding 8% by volume
and at a positive pressure at all times

The system shall be capable of

delivering inert gas with an oxygen
content of not more than 5% by
volume in the inert gas supply main to

Crude Oil Washing

A system for hot or cold water

washing of the cargo tank should
also be provided required
cleaned inspection/docking/
changing product from one grade to
another grade

25% of the cargo tank are usually

washed during each discharge

The fluid velocity in the COW main

line should not exceed 4-5 m/s

Capacity of the tank cleaning pump

should normally be about 25% to 35%
of the capacity of a cargo pump

The fluid velocity in the branch line

should not exceed 5-6 m/s

COW is mandatory on new tanker

under the International Convention
for the Prevention Pollution by Ships
(MARPOL 73/78)

Standard tank washing and stripping

within 24 hours

The main type of washing machines COW

Single nozzle machines ( Q up to about 200 m/h)

Concentrated on the area where the jet is most

needed-less consumption of crude oil

Higher jet impact force

More complicated probably more maintenance

More time consuming/labour demand operation

Dual nozzle machines ( Q up to about 250 m/h)

low price

Simple operation

Less weight easier to handle and transport

Higher consumption of crude oil

Drainage arrangement

Clean ballast tank Flushing

Segregated ballast tank (SBT) No Flushing

Slop tank

Annex I requirement :

1 slop tank Less than 70000 tonnes DWT

2 slop tank More than 70000 tonnes DWT

Capacity minimum 3% cargo carrying

capacity but depend on the washing method
used ;

A large capacity is required for open cycle

washing than for washing in the recirculation
SBT and COW tankers and combination
carriers also have smaller slop tank

Recovered fuel oil should be heated to not

more than 60C and recovered crude oil
(except some heavy crude oils), to not more
than 43C after removal of free water

Main principles for oil supply COW

Bleed off from main

Separate pump(dedicated COW pump)

Nozzle diameter

Usually between 20 and 40 mm

COW machines to be operated

simultaneously has been decided ;
Size of the tank covered by
machine
Pumping & stripping capacities
Dimension of piping (pressure
drop)
Top washing
It is recommended to
start, asap when
about of the tank
discharged
Bottom washing
Usually start with a
small amount of
cargo in the tank

Advantages with COW

Reduction: pollution potential,
cost and time of tank cleaning,
corrosion.
Increased out-turn of cargo
More time for maintenance
work at sea, since no additional
tank cleaning is required

Disadvantages with COW

Increase workload during
discharging
Cost for extra personnel
Cost for COW equipment
more equipment maintenance
Prolonged time for discharging
